Itinerary and highlights
Crab Island is Destin’s most iconic sandbar — a vibrant, shallow-water hotspot where locals and visitors gather to relax, swim, and soak up the Florida sun. If you book your private captained boat tour, you’ll cruise through the emerald-green waters of Destin Harbor and the East Pass before anchoring at Crab Island, accessible only by boat.
Once we arrive, you can hop off the boat and wade through the crystal-clear water, float in the sun, or enjoy music, food boats, and floating vendors (seasonal). It’s the ultimate sandbar party or a chilled-out escape — depending on the vibe you’re after. Whether you're here to swim, sunbathe, or take in the lively atmosphere, your captains tailor the experience to your group, making sure you get the most out of your Crab Island adventure.
Perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends — and yes, pets are welcome too!
Cruise into the beautiful Gulf of Mexico with a knowledgeable local captain to encounter wild bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat. As we leave Destin Harbor and pass through the East Pass, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins swimming, playing, and riding the boat's wake. It’s common to see pods of dolphins up close, especially in the calm waters near the coast.
Your captain will share fun facts about the area and local marine life as you enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline. Whether you're with family, friends, or a special someone, this is a relaxed, awe-inspiring adventure that’s different every time. Great for all ages—and yes, your pets are welcome to join too!
